SHADE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 12, 1920.

Application filed February 25, 1920. Serial No. 361,096.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAwRnNoE F. MASCHI- NOT, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cincinnati, in'the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shade-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide an adjustable window shade holder that can be adjusted to accommodate shade rollers of varying lengths and that can be securely locked against any movement.

Another-object is to provide an adjustable holder that is simple of construction and adjustment.

These and other objects are attained by the means disclosed in the accompanying drawings and described hereinafter.

Figure 1, is a front perspective view of a shade holder, embodying my invention, attached to a frame.

Fig. 2, is a plan view of a holder attached to a frame.

Fig. 3, is a view on line 33 of Fig. 2.

My invention comprises a bracket upon which a shade holder is mounted. The shade holder is so constructed that it can be adjusted to varying positions and may be firmly seated on the bracket in any such positions.

The bracket A has attachment means such as perforated shoulder a, whereby it may be aflixed to a frame. The holder B is slidably mounted on the bracket A. Spring flange b is formed on the base I) of the holder B. Seats 6 and b are formed on the flange b and have a rib 6* between them. A seat 6 is formed adjoiningly to the base Z) and opposite to the seat 6 Notches a are formed on the sides a of bracket A which permit theholder to be attached to or separated from the bracket.

C is a window frame to which bracket A is attached.

The operation of my device is as follows 2- After the bracket A has been aflixed to the frame to which a shade is to be applied, the holder B is mounted on the bracket. To mount the holder B upon the bracket A, the slight projections or outer edges 6", b beyond the seats 6 and 6 are passed through the notches a; The under edge a of the bracket will engage loosely in theseat 6 and the upper edge a of the bracket Wlll engage loosely in the seat 6 In this position the holder can be moved to any desired point on the bracket. When the desired adjustment has been made, the holder base 6' is forced toward the flat outer surface of the bracket A, thereby causing the under edge a of the bracket to move over the rib Z2 and lodging the under edge of the bracket in the seat 6 The seats I) and b are in such relation to one another that the bracket A will be securely held between them, thereby preventing the holder from moving on the bracket. To make a different adjustment, the holder base I) is withdrawn from the bracket A until the lower edge of the bracket has passed over the rib and is lodging in the seat 6 Adjustment can then be made to any position and the holder again fastened as before described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A shade holder comprising a bracket and a holder having a base, a flange extending from the base, a seat formed on the flange and seats formed on the base adapted to fixedly and movably engage the bracket.

2. In a shade holder the combination of a bracket having parallel edges, a shade holder having a base with an inturned flange forming a seat upon one side, and an inturned spring flange at the other side, said flanges being adapted to clamp the edges of the bracket.

3. A shade holder comprising a bracket having notched sides, and a holder having a base, a flange extending from the base at one side forming a seat on the base, a flange on the other side of the base, a seat formed on the second flange and a seat formed at the junction of the base and the second flange, a rib between the last two mentioned seats, and projections on the flanges adapted to pass through the notches, to movably engage the bracket between the first two mentioned seats and to fixedly engage the bracket between the seats on the base and at the junction of the base and the second flange.

In witness whereof, I. have hereunto subscribed my name this 23rd day of February,

LAWRENCE F. MASGHINOT.
